Re: Named indicators (was DOW vs DOU)

I've started using a pointer to the indicators (*IN) and then mapping a data 
structure over the indicators. By doing this, I can rename my indicators. For 
example, I rename *IN71 to SFLClear, *IN72 to SFLDisplay and *IN73 to 
SFLControl. Then I use a statement like Eval SFLClear = *On. I think the code 
is so much easier to read and understand using this technique.
